Looking forward to your visit

The Katarina Hotel Paradise Island is in many respects a most unusual holiday resort: beginning with the fantastic location offshore before Rovinj, the pearl of the Adriatic, and continuing with the ”island experience” and can be fully felt when one discovers the holiday world of the Hotel Katarina: a world of its own on a small island with rock- and gravel beaches, hidden bays, modern hotel comfort, historic buildings and a botanical jewel, the nature park, with heated swimming pools and diverse sports opportunities, such as tennis, diving, mini-golf, sailing, surfing, beach volleyball and running. But Katarina is also a hotel and an island with history: an old Austrian aristocrat discovered an enchanting island here almost 100 years ago, and transformed an island of karst into an exotic Mediterranean park. Following comprehensive renovation, the palace of Count Milewski still forms the focus of the holiday complex today. There are four guest villas situated around the palace: ”Villa Marina” and ”Villa Stella Maris” with double rooms and suites and - especially for families ”Villa Onda” and ”Villa Spiaggia” with their popular apartments. Fully renovated in a romantic style, with a nostalgic imperial touch, the rooms now offer comfort and modern furnishing, and above all a direct view of the sea. Families feel especially at home on Katarina: spacious family apartments with a room for parents and one for the children, a children‘s club with supervision and a jolly programme, a heated children‘s pool, a playground at the sea and no traffic! The culinary heart of the Katarina Hotel Island beats in the light-flooded restaurant: several areas, an Istrian ”Konoba” (wine tavern), a pizza parlour, a fisherman‘s area, the inner courtyard and the large terrace all built of typical Istrian materials with a great deal of stone and wood, form a real relaxed ambiance for Mediterranean cuisine. Traditional Istrian and Adriatic specialities are a focus of the evening buffet, but there are also plenty of pasta creations and aromatic pizzas from the wood-fired oven. And when the sun sinks a glowing red into the sea as you take a glass of wine on the terrace, Katarina will definitely become a paradise hotel island. We extend a heartfelt welcome!

The atmospheric end to a marvellous day: The magic of the Medi-

terranean becomes alive in the early evening! Followed perhaps by

a dance to the rhythms of the live band, an enchanted stroll for just

the two of you on the panoramic path around the island, or a ride on

the boat shuttle for an evening walk through Rovinj.

The sun is on our side in Istria. The bathing season is from spring

until far into autumn, and the heated swimming pools guarantee

bathing fun already from Easter - also just right for enjoying a few

warm, intermediate days in the south early and late in the year. No

less lovely are the island‘s rock- and gravel beaches.

Katarina Impressions

The Katar ina Hotel ParadiseIsland is an ideal start ing point for beco-ming acquainted with some of the attract ions of Istr ia: such as the world-famous Euphrasius Basi-l ica (UNESCO World Cultural Heri tage) in Porec, the Roman Arena in Pula, the Limski Channel, with i ts mussel banks, the sleepy wine roads in the hi l ly hinter land, or the meditat ive vi l -lage of Groznjan with i ts medieval facades, behind which art ists have furnished their studios and gal-ler ies.

A Holiday Paradise in the Heart of EuropeIstria is the most western province within

the Republic of Croatia, and it is the lar-

gest peninsula on the Adriatic coastline.

After centuries of belonging to Venice,

Istria remained a part of the Austro-Hun-

garian Monarchy for more than 100 years

until 1918, and was then an Italian province

for somewhat more than 25 years.

The richly diverse coastal landscape, with

its islands, shady pine forests and multi-

faceted sports infrastructure, has made

Istria one of the most popular travel des-

tinations for holidaymakers from all over

Europe since the 1970s.

The Arena at Pula, which was bui l t 2000 years ago, could be f looded to accommodate gladiator batt les in ships. This colossal emblem serves as an atmospher ic backdrop today for concerts wi th such internat ional stars as Jose Carreras, St ing and Joe Cocker, and for audiences of up to 12,000.

Wine roads, artists‚ villages and a rich cultural heritageIstria is not only a marvellous destination

for the beach, but also contains a great many

cultural treasures, and guests in this central

European holiday destination experience a

part of a mutual history.

• With its basilica (Byzantine mosaics) and

• the Roman and Venetian Old Town, Porec

• is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.

• The old Austrian navel base of Pula has

• numerous Roman attractions, including

• an amphitheatre (concerts with inter-

• national stars for attendances of up to

• 12,000).

• Brioni Islands National Park with a bota-

• nical garden and exotic zoo.

• Limskifjord Nature Reservation (fish and

• mussel breeding).

• Romantic medieval villages in the hinter-

• land, with wine roads making it

reminiscent of Tuscany: such as the little

fortified town of Motovun or the colony

of artists of Groznjan.

• Opatija, the capital of the former

”Imperial Riviera” of old Austria still has

a wonderful fin de siècle flair and is

recommended for an extended look

around or a visit to our Hotel

MIRAMAR****L.

Rovinj - the Pearl of IstriaRovinj, which protrudes shell-like into the

sea, counts among the loveliest places on the

coast of the Adriatic. The Old Town, which

was first connected to the mainland only

in the 17th century, is enchanting with its

crooked Venetian lanes. The highest point

of the town is the Basilica of St. Euphemia,

with a fantastic view of the islands. Galleries,

street artists, musical events and joyous fes-

tivities define the life of summer in Rovinj.

With the 52-hectare ”Golden Cape”, a hund-

red-year-old botanical forest park, invites

one for strolls under Himalayan cedars.

More information and bookings:

AccessibilityAn advantage of Istria and Rovinj is their easy accessibility by car, whereby most of the journey can take place on motorways (a valid and current passport or identity card is required).Some of the distances to Rovinj/Katarina Island:

• Munich around 600km

• Salzburg around 480km

• Vienna around 570km

• Graz around 360km

• Klagenfurt around 250km

Routes to RovinjThere are two almost equally good possibilities for the journey from Villach/Austria:1. Via Slovenia through the Karawanken Tunnel (toll section) and on to Ljubljana and Koper. The route is well constructed with a motor way (toll payable in all currencies) from Ljubljana until 20 km before Koper.2. Through Italy on the Villach-Udine-Trieste motorway (toll). Just before the Slovenian border the route (city motorway, in part) leads through the outer suburbs of Trieste. Drive in the direction of ”Capodistria/Koper” in Slovenia, and then into Croatia and towards Porec or Pula/Pola. Rovinj is signposted from the Croatian border.

Arrival, parking, checking inIn Rovinj, it is best to orientate on the signposts to ”ACI-Marina” (yacht harbour). Around 100 metres before the Marina, and on the right, is the entrance to the ”Dolphin Jetty”. Our harbour receptionist will take your luggage and have it brought to your room, so that you can comfortably board the hotel‘s boat with your hand luggage. The hotel page first accompanies drivers to the hotel parking area. This is around ten minutes walk from the harbour reception. A hotel bus constantly shuttles between the jetty and the parking area on the days of arrival and departure. The car can be collected, or again parked, at all times.
